Here Comes The Immortal Swordsman Chapter 96

Chapter 96 What Had Happened?

The only defect in Bai Qinyun's personality was that she liked to take risks too much.

She often did things regardless of the consequences.

After a check-up, Liu Qihai breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded at Chu Hen and Pan Weimin, indicating that she was fine. He quickly took her to the infirmary nearby and helped to treat her.

“Among the four people, three have tried, and there is one left.”

Cao Potian finally fixed his eyes on Lin Beichen and said, “You don't speak, are you afraid? As the top genius of the second grade and a proud disciple of Ding Sans.h.i.+, aren't you as good as a little girl who is several years younger than you?”

Lin Beichen laughed and said, “Haha, Cao Potian, your real target is actually me, right? You're just a villain who has betrayed your previous master. It's only been a few years since you sought connections with Baiyun City. However, you can't wait to come back and throw your weight around like a contemptible scoundrel. Don't you think it's ridiculous?”

“What did you say?”

Cao Potian's face changed drastically, and his eyes were full of anger.

The biggest shame in his life was that he had betrayed Ding Sans.h.i.+ and turned to be a disciple of Bai Haiqin.

What he hated most was that someone talked about it in front of him.

It was equivalent to slapping him in the face in public.

“Hey…”

Lin Beichen took a few steps forward, spreading his momentum and revealing his sharpness. He sneered and said, “In the eyes of the swordsmen of Cloudy Dream City, you, Cao Potian, are just a contemptible scoundrel. Why do you show off? It's just an invitation card. Haha, just shoot it out. If I move even an inch when catching the invitation card, I'll admit defeat.”

The expression of everyone in the Sword-honing Venue changed at the same time.

They thought that Lin Beichen was too arrogant.

Everyone had witnessed what had happened to Han Bufu before.

Although Lin Beichen was the top genius of the second grade, compared with Han Bufu, a senior of the third grade, he was not much better, even if his combat capability was higher.

Yet, he claimed that he would take the invitation card head-on without moving an inch.

“Hahahaha!”

Cao Potian raised his head and laughed. “It turns out that there is really such a crazy and arrogant man like you in this world. In order to fight for fame, you really dare to say anything. Lin Beichen, do you know what your words represent?”

Lin Beichen crooked his finger and said, “Cut the c.r.a.p. Just shoot the invitation card out.”

This was what Han Bufu had said just now.

He said it again on purpose.

There was a hint of warmth in Han Bufu's eyes because he could tell that Lin Beichen was venting his anger on his behalf.

But…

Could he really catch it?

Chu Hen and others also had strange glints in their eyes.

Lin Beichen's way of dissing Cao Potian at the risk of falling out with him, of course, made them feel exceptionally good.

However, it wouldn't work by just boasting.

If he couldn't take it, he would suffer more humiliation and become a laughing stock if it was spread out.

Cao Potian's eyes were full of fierceness, and he did not hide his hostility. He sneered and said, “Well, since you want to humiliate yourself, then I will help you.”

Swoos.h.!.+

As soon as he finished speaking, another red invitation card floated out of his palm.

This time, the invitation card moved even more slowly.

But the strange howling sound it gave was more ear-piercing.

The airflows around the invitation card, visible to the naked eye, were rotating like waves.

Chu Hen and others changed their countenances one after another.

Everyone could tell that this time, Cao Potian exerted a stronger force.

If the invitation card Han Bufu had faced possessed such terrible power, the muscles and bones of his arms would have directly been shattered instead of him vomiting blood and falling.

Noticing that something bad was going to happen, Chu Hen was afraid that Lin Beichen would be injured and was about to stop him.

But at this point, Lin Beichen took a step forward, waved his hand, and said, “Come here.”

The next moment, everyone's vision was blurred.

The invitation card suddenly disappeared in the air without warning.

Then, something of a bright red color appeared in Lin Beichen's palm.

It was exactly the invitation card!

“It's just a little piece of paper… The invitation card should have been written by an elegant scholar and sent respectfully as a gift. It represents character and courtesy, but you, a clown, can't wait to treat it as a show of arrogance. Hehe, Cao Potian, you've really brought ‘glory' on Baiyun City,” Lin Beichen said blandly and opened the invitation card.

“On the 15th night, the moonlight is all over the sky.

“At the top of the Ling Manor, the sword test is supposed to be held.”

It was exactly the same as the content of the invitation card that Chu Hen had received.

The differences were the patterns and some Mystery Marks on the invitation card.

The one Chu Hen had received was one of the 12 invitation cards designed for Sword Masters of swordsmans.h.i.+p in Cloudy Dream City, while this one was one of the 12 invitation cards designed for young geniuses of swordsmans.h.i.+p in the city.

Cao Potian stood stiffly on the spot.

There was unconcealable shock on his handsome face.

He couldn't believe what he had seen.

“What on earth happened at that moment?

“Why did the invitation card suddenly fall into Lin Beichen's hand?

“Could it be the legendary outburst of Mystery Energy which can help him catch something in the air from a distance?

“That's something that can only be done by a master of martial arts who has reached the Great Warrior Expert Realm.

“Lin Beichen is just a student from a junior college. How could he have reached such a high level?”

Chu Hen, Pan Weimin, and other teachers were also struck dumb.

They didn't figure out what had happened at that moment, but this didn't prevent them from showing extreme excitement on their faces because Lin Beichen's boast came true.

He didn't move at all and caught the invitation card.

Cool!

There was a look of uncontrollable astonishment on Cao Potian's face, which was previously full of superiority. Seeing that, they were as happy as if they had eaten the iced fruit during the dog days, feeling comfortable from head to toe.

“What else do you want to say?”

Lin Beichen looked at Cao Potian.

The latter was at a loss for words for a moment.

Lin Beichen said again, “In fact, I'm not as strong as Senior Brother Han Bufu, but I caught your invitation card casually. Haha, it can be seen that Senior Brother Han was merely careless just now. That was why he was taken advantage of by the insidious secret method you used when shooting the invitation card out. You are only qualified to use such a small trick to entrap others.”

“Nonsense. I am…”

Cao Potian was furious.

Lin Beichen sneered and did not hide his ridicule. He directly interrupted him, “Well, it's useless to say more. I did it. If you still want to send the third invitation card, I won't mind it. Although its texture is hard, it's expensive after all. I guess I won't feel too bad if I use it in toilet after softening it.”

“You…”

Cao Potian directly suffered a mental collapse.

He instantly had the impulse to pull out his sword and stab Lin Beichen to death on the spot.

But the reason deep in his heart made him hold it back.

This was the territory of the Third College.

There were three giants and a dozen teachers, as well as an unfathomable Lin Beichen—this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, after all, was the disciple of Ding Sans.h.i.+. Deep inside, Cao Potian still had some respect for the old man who had once led him to the path of swordsmans.h.i.+p and had discovered his const.i.tution suitable for practicing swordsmans.h.i.+p.

If they really fought, he would not be the one with reason and might be at a disadvantage.

“Lin Beichen, don't be complacent too early.”

Cao Potian tried his best to hold back his anger.

He sneered and said, “Since you have taken the invitation card, then please keep your appointment on time. Hey hey, there will be more real tests waiting for you on the night of the sword test. At that time, instead of some mystifying tricks, your real strength and swordsmans.h.i.+p will be tested. I hope that you will be as proud as you are now by then.”

Lin Beichen said sarcastically, “Really? I'm looking forward to it. I hope that at that time, you can speak relying on your ability, instead of using the name of Baiyun City to show off just like now. This will only make you look shallow, ignorant, and pitiful.”

When Cao Potian heard this, he was so furious that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood to somewhere far away.

Lin Beichen's remark was too vicious.

“I'll be taking my leave.”

He turned around and left.

He didn't want to stay here any longer.

There was a hint of gentleness on Li Qingxuan's face. He secretly gave Lin Beichen a thumbs-up and then turned to leave with other officials of the education department.

The atmosphere in the Sword-honing Venue instantly became warm and lively.

“Good boy, how did you do it just now?” Chu Hen asked with great joy.
